patch approved. Please note that 80% of the record cache threshold of 90% is actually 72% of the record cache. In my opinion, 18% of cache is still a lot of records to scavenge. But it is much netter than before. I would also like to point out that the record-cache-floor aught to have a more intuitive meaning, reflecting the percentage of falcon-record-memory-max. The downside to this proposed change in meaning is that there must be extra precautions against setting the floor as high or higher than the threshold. The current setting protects that automatically by having an upper limit of 90. If there is a consensus to change the meaning of falcon-record-scavenge-floor, it can be done in another bug.
